Despite the Dept. of Corrections' stated commitment to ending the staffing crisis, the number of vacant positions has actually risen from 209 in December 2022 to 319 currently, creating significantly higher health and safety risks to everyone in the building.

Stand up, fight back! #1u #UnionStrong #AFSCME #Solidarity
